Hargrove visits Tahoma students
Area police expect crime increase over holidays
A DIVISION OF SOUND PUBLISHING
BY REBECCA GOURLEY rgourley@covingtonreporter.com
State Rep. Mark Hargrove visited Tahoma High School Dec. 12. After a morning of observing different language arts classes, he did some co-teaching with Daren Fickel, a National Board Certified teacher. After Hargrove introduced himself, one of Fickel’s students asked him, in a very candid spirit, “Why are you here?” As subtle laughter came over the classroom, Hargrove responded that he was there to learn. “Your teacher invited me to come and see what’s going on here,” he said. “I saw teachers teaching on the same subject MAPLE but with very different VALLEY styles; from a much more formal setting to much more casual.” He added, “It’s good for me to see how this stuff works.” Fickel, who has been at Tahoma for two years, was teaching his pre-AP language class with Hargrove. The sophomores were tasked with analyzing the structure and content of argumentative essays that were written by other students for the SAT exam. Part of the learning has been about ethos, pathos and logos, also known as Aristotle’s “ingredients for persuasion.” Hargrove connected the lesson of the day to his work as a legislator, saying having a well thought out argument is very critical in politics, especially in committee hearings and on the floor in Olympia. He said if someone testifies in front of a committee and their argument is not well organized, they may have lost their effect on the legislators.

Lawrence Campbell debated the decision. On the one hand, the long-time commercial architect from Kent is entirely anti-drugs of all kinds. On the other, he figured that he could potentially be part of a process that is the lesser of two evils. “I did some soul searching for a while,” Campbell told The Reporter over the phone. “If there ever was an anti-drug guy, it’s me. I don’t like people who do it. But that’s their business, I’m not

When the sales are announced and the wallets come out, there’s always one safe bet: Tis’ the season for thefts and scams. “There are a lot of vulnerable people out there,” said Covington Police Chief Kevin Klason. Crimes typically increase across the nation during the holiday season. The mix of alcohol, depression, heavy shopping and family obligations can produce a piteous blend. Large and small cities alike face this increase in nefariousness, be it bank robberies and murders or mail theft and phone scams. Area law enforcement officials say the spike locally is centered on the latter of those crimes — specifically scams. The Federal Trade Commission reports thousands of people lose money to phone scams every year, from a few dollars to life savings. The Bonney Lake Police Department warned its residents of a phone scam reported by several citizens that involved an automated phone call falsely identified as being from the city of Bonney Lake.

State Rep. Mark Hargrove speaks to a pre-AP class of sophomores at Tahoma High School on Dec. 12 about his job as a legislator in Olympia. REBECCA GOURLEY, The Reporter “It needs to be concise, it needs to have all of those elements of the ethos, pathos and logos,” Hargrove said to the students. “If you don’t have all of those things organized, you’ve lost your impact.” Rep.

going to sit in moral judgment of anybody.” Campbell is working with a company called Crimson Wave, Covington’s first prospective recreational marijuana retail store, which was issued a tenant improvement building permit in the city last month. The proposed location is 27623 Covington Way SE, next to the Napa Auto Parts store, just south of Costco. The tenant improvement permit was the first step required by the state before inspectors check the store location for compliance with all state regulations.
Crimson Wave joined a pool of 1,174 applicants for one of the state’s 334 recreational marijuana retail licenses. Each of the applicants were placed into a lottery system, with a certain number of stores allotted in each city. The state liquor board issued the state’s first recreational pot licenses in July. According to the board’s website, the number of retail locations was determined using a formula that distributes the number of locations proportionate to the most populous cities within each county. Smaller cities in the county, like Covington, were placed in a group called “King County at Large,” which would be given 11 total stores. Crimson Wave received a No. 11 lottery rank for King County at [ more POT page 8 ]

Covington crime reports
Klason said both females admitted to ingesting the psychedelic drug and were transported to separate hospital emergency rooms. Klason said this type of incident is rare in Covington. “I can’t say I’ve heard that one happen in my time here,” he said. “But acid, I’m told, can do rather odd things to your head.”
TEEN ON ACID JUMPS OFF ROOF
STUDENT ALLEGEDLY BRINGS OUT KNIFE
A female teenager jumped of the roof of a residence after taking acid, according to Covington police. Police responded to a report of two teenage females taking acid on the 15800 block of Southeast 254th Place at around 8:20 p.m. on Dec. 12. The female who jumped injured her lower leg, according to Police Chief Kevin Klason. Klason said police kicked down the door to the residence after the female outside informed officers that the teenager inside the house was also under the influence and injured.
Police are investigating a report of a Kentwood High School student displaying a pocket knife following an altercation on a school bus.

CHILD ABUSE REPORT AT KENTWOOD A male Kentwood High School student claimed his head was slammed into a vehicle by a family member outside of school on Dec. 12. Covington police received a child abuse report at 12:30 p.m. that stated an adult male engaged in an argument with his 16-year-old step-son at the school, grabbed the student “by the back of the neck and slammed his head into the side of the truck.” Covington Police Chief Kevin Klason said the student did not wish to pursue any charges and “at this stage it is an informational case; not to the point of follow up.” Klason said the family requested handling the issue “in-house” and that an officer will try to follow-up to make sure things are “fine and safe at the home.”

A few days before you leave for vacation, review these guidelines from a Maple Valley Police Department newsletter to ensure your home will be safe while you’re away. • Lock every door and window including garage doors and windows on upper floors. Test each lock to make sure it’s working properly. • Remove any spare house keys you may have hidden around your property, including ones in your car or garage, under a doormat, inside a fake rock, under a pot-
ted plant, etc. Thieves know all the popular hiding places, so don’t take any chances. • Look in your windows from outside to see if any burglar-enticing valuables are out in plain sight. • Since burglars typically expect to find valuables in the bedroom or the living room, hide precious items like jewelry and electronics in the kitchen. • If your basement or patio is prone to flooding, make sure the drain is unobstructed.

Kent School District statement in response to lockdown story
LOCAL
Covington resident Sean Smith made a presentation at the Spokane TEDx conference on Oct. 13, focusing on the question “Why Protect National Parks?� Smith, a Covington resident since 2006, discussed why parks are relevant, whether the public can afford them and why future generations will judge us now on the efforts that are made.

One thing is certain, we have already and will continue to learn from this event and incorporate that learning into our continuous process of improvement. Our Safety Services model is recognized across the country as one of the most innovative and successful for its focus on student and staff trust, well-trained district safety officers, a well-coordinated partnership with multiple first responder agencies and the cutting-edge use of technology. The other hallmark of our approach is transparency. We have provided the media and community with multiple camera angles of a quickly changing event that has shown the strength of our systems and protective focus, but this also unveiled a situation where that very same protective focus led to an error in practice. Your children’s - our students’ - safety is our number one priority. While we cannot stop the criminal behavior of others nor the occasional intrusion of society’s challenges onto our campuses, we can and will continue to do our best to keep our students, staff and visitors safe in the Kent School District.

Gift-buying guide for dummies
Christmas is a time of joy and many zippy yippees, except for boy-men who have to buy gifts for their wives or girlfriends. The solution for this Christmas conundrum has arrived – from me. I have decided to give the hapless males of the world my time-honored wisdom on buying the perfect package to express those queasy things inside that men never say out loud because all the words start with “F” and that is not allowed (except for exceptions). I have not come upon all this wisdom on my own. Kevin Hanson is one of the high priests of this secret knowledge, and in many ways a mentor. Let me begin with a few “Do Not” pointers. • Do not buy anything incredibly cool like cordless drills with every attachment known to humanity and speeds from slow to faster than “Space Balls” fast. The excuse, “Honeybunch, I will hang the new medicine cabinet that has been sitting in the bathroom for seven years.” • Do not buy a pneumatic nail gun and compressor set with three guns and extra hose. The excuse, “Sweetiepie, this will also work as a home protection device. If an evildoer comes near the house I will shoot framing nails at him. And think of all the great storage boxes I can build for all your useless junk.” The above “Do Not” tips are examples of neardeath Christmas morning experiences. A good rule of thumb is, if it seems like a great gift and really fun – run away. Because I have earned the self-appointed title, “Most Sensitive Male-like Creature,” I will pass my danger-dodging advice to the bucko dumDennis Box Editor

OPINION
O D I D Y O U K N O W ? :
mies of the world. What follows is the formula for Christmas harmony and balance. • A real treasure your special girly will love is an eight-track cassette player. These are top Christmas gifts and are sure to show your true inside things we don’t say out loud because the word starts with “F”. • To go along with your tape player, package up a set of eight-track cassettes of “The Greatest Hits from Cowboy Cody and his Sagebrush Singers.” Very sentimental and every song will show her your true inside things. A few of Cowboy Cody’s big hits were, “Ridin’ and Ropin’ and Mama Cooking Squirrel” and the unforgettable, “My Sweetie Fixed a Hole in the Roof to Stop the Rain from Comin’ in” – you will remember that one for their sort of White Album. • Thoughtfully selected cookbooks can put you on the road to yippee-yahoo. Try a goldbound haute´cuisine cookbook based on Gran-
ny’s gummy goodies from the Beverly Hillbillies. You will find pictorial features like possum pizza with caramelized onions, fresh mozzarella with a hint of garden basil. Another yummy in the tummy is buttermilk and rodent fricassee - tastes like chicken, only better. • My last tip is a special secret in case all else fails. I have put together a magic elixir that will smear away her wrinkles and make her hair flat. Get a carton of buttermilk and wait about two months past the date on the top. Maybe leave it in a hot car until it feels heavy and chunky. Pour the whole thing into a bowl and have the love of your life stick her head into it. It will fix her hair and face all in one swoop. My sincere hope is these time-honored tips will keep all the boys out of the bad house for boneheads. Have a merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

Well friends, ready or not, here we go again! There are gifts to buy, drinks to share and people to meet. Decorated with their beautiful Christmas lights, Santas and Victorian displays, Southcenter promises to fulfill our most outrageous hedonistic dreams. The place seems to be plugged directly into our vital needs and passions. Furthermore, in the last few years, it’s opened some pretty good restaurants and a couple of comfortable lounges. But alas, I don’t care to do all my
holiday shopping within the controlled climate of an enclosed mall. As I hurry from store to store, I like to experience the outside blast of inclement weather to remind me it’s winter. (I even welcome snow over Christmas and New Year’s, but it should be limited to that week, thank you.) Moreover, this is the season for a hot buttered rum and it’s an established fact that this drink isn’t fully appreciated unless you step out of the cold into a warm lounge. Within the controlled climate of a mall, you may as well forget tradition and have a gin and tonic. I’d rather dart from store to store in a small town, but this may limit the merchandise available.

ing the case, I may go to downtown Seattle. This means I might have to deal with the protesters, who are currently raising hell, but they aren’t nearly as disruptive as the media might lead you to believe. Christmas shopping can get a bit hectic, unless you share it with someone you love. Indeed, Christmas and romance are really inseparable. So, let me offer my personal scenario for the holidays. Around twilight or during the early evening, bundle up in your coat, scarf and gloves, hug your most precious “significant other” and, together, soul to soul, amble around Westlake Center. You might even ride the merry-go-round. Then stroll through the dazzling lights that line First Avenue, buy a roasted chestnut from the vendor outside the
Olympic Hotel (at least that’s what they used to call it and I assume most of you still do) and finally wander into the warm, secluded intimacy of some cozy little lounge and, to the strains of Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas,” share an eggnog or two. Share a couple kisses as well. Or you can simply gather your family in the living room, throw another log in the fireplace, settle back on the couch with your children and that “significant other” and share another reading of “The Night Before Christmas.” Pass some peanut butter balls around. And don’t forget the kisses. And let me take this opportunity to extend my warmest holiday greetings. A very merry Christmas to you all!

Not sure what to give a good friend for the holidays this year? Why not give
them the gift of good health by offering to be their fitness buddy? Good health is
generosity by sharing your time and providing unconditional support to assist a friend with achieving their fitness goals. Consider the acronym CARE when thinking about the benefits of being or having an exercise buddy. C – Company: people bond over shared experiences and achieving shared goals. It’s motivating to know a friend is waiting for you and will push or encourage as needed. A – Accountability: having or being a buddy builds in accountability. Nobody wants to let their friends
All the extra sugar around the holidays can be bad for your health. Sugar contributes extra calories that can lead to obesity. We all love to eat the extra pie in our kitchen, but remember, an extra 3,500 calories and you’ve got another pound. That’s an extra 500 calories a day for a week straight. With that you’ll be well on your way to gaining some extra weight. Try some of these tips to help you eat healthier this holiday season. CHI Franciscan Health has registered dieticians you can contact about eating healthy. To learn more about them go to http://www.chifranciscan.org/HealthCare-Services/Weight-Loss/Nutritionand-Weight-Management/NutritionCounseling/ or call 1-800-823-6525.

down. R – Results: studies show that people who have a community to support their exercise goals are more likely to achieve them. E – Enthusiasm: everyone needs a cheerleader. When your buddy’s enthusiasm wanes, you can cheer them on and they can do the same for you. This year, skip the Starbucks gift card and go with a gift that will bring to joy to both you and your friend. Consider the gift of being a fitness buddy, achieving a
shared goal and providing unconditional support! You can always buy your friend a latte after a walk, run or workout. Best wishes for your continued success!

“THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF CARE FOR YOUR CHILD”
THYROID PROBLEMS The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland that is located in the front of the neck, wrapped around the trachea. This gland is important because it has the job of regulating the many metabolic processes that go on inside the body. Thyroid problems are usually due to a thyroid that does too much, which is called hyperthyroidism, or a thyroid that is sluggish and not doing enough, which is called hypothyroidism. Hyperthyroidism symptoms include nervousness, a racing heart, and an increase in sweating, among others. Conversely, hypothyroidism symptoms include fatigue, constipation, dry skin, and depression. Cancer rarely strikes the thyroid, although sometimes small, harmless goiters appear. Treatment depends on which type of problem is affecting the thyroid. Thyroid issues can usually managed by your healthcare provider with few, if any, problems. For thyroid disorders that stem from the over- or underproduction of thyroid hormones, both conventional and alternative treatments offer varied methods to try to restore hormone levels to their proper balance. To schedule an appointment at Southlake Clinic, please call (253) 395-1972. Our Covington clinic is located at 27005 168th Place SE.

Show someone you CARE
priceless and is one element of living a well-lived life. This is how you can wrap and deliver your gift of being a fitness buddy. Invite a friend to join you with achieving a fitness goal. Working toward a shared goal is an effective way to stay motivated while exerting extra effort to develop new routines. A shared goal also feeds the human desire for social connections and significance. Most of us want to experience more joy in life and staying healthy is a significant step toward this goal. Consider demonstrating
ravenously hungry when it’s time for the meal or the party. • Exercise. Exercising can help you burn off those excess calories. • Eat until you’re full, not until you’re as stuffed as that turkey. • Take small bites and chew slowly. • Don’t stand and talk next to the appetizer table; instead talk with people away from it so you’re not tempted to take samples of the food. • Whole grain bread is better for you than refined grains like white bread. You should check the label to make sure that the first ingredient in the bread is a “whole” grain. • Eat light meat and take off the skin. Dark meat and skin aren’t as healthy for you. • Include the foods that are high in antioxidants at the dinner table like cranberries, sweet potatoes and vegetables.

www.covingtonreporter.com • www.maplevalleyreporter.com [ HOLIDAYS from page 1] tells the resident that he or she has an outstanding unpaid balance for bills through the city and asks for credit card information to settle the bill. Bonney Lake Police Officer Daron Wolschleger said the city of Bonney Lake will never call over the phone to ask for money or credit card info to settle an unpaid bill. “We ask that if you get one of these calls to not provide any personal or financial information, immediately hand up the phone and then call the police to report it,” Wolschleger wrote in a press release. “We also ask that if you are unsure if you owe money to the city, please contact the city of Bonney Lake directly to verify.” Wolschleger said other area phone scams involve a supposed utility company employee asking for a payment. There is also the nationwide scam that claims the victim has an outstanding warrant and that financial information is needed to avoid arrest. These potential dupes are also seen in Black Diamond. Sgt. Brian Lynch, with the Black Diamond Police Department, said the scams range from fraudulent claims of winning prize money, to alleged charitable organiza-
tions asking for credit card information, to a supposed IRS employee claiming he needs a social security number. “You’d think if someone’s calling from the IRS, he would already have your social security number,” Lynch said. “I always tell people you can’t identify people over the phone unless you call the agency.” Although the primary targets for scams are typically the elderly, that’s not always the case. A Covington woman was recently bamboozled out of hundreds of dollars in an internet scam, sending money via wire transfer to an individual posing as a potential love interest, according to Klason. Klason said the female was online dating at sugardaddy. com. Klason said the woman sent money on at least four occasions and “will never see the money again.” “This person was in need of help,” Klason said. “She claims there was no love interest on her part but this person managed to con her and gain her trust. She started to fall for the individual to the point where she sent quite a bit of money overseas… to a charity I’m sure does not exist.” The Covington woman is certainly not alone.
A report released in July by Ulstrascan Advanced Global Investigations that looked at the infamous Nigerian scam — or, more technically, Nigerian 419 Advance Fee Fraud statistics — concluded that smart people are easier to scam. The report stated that high-achieving professionals are the most likely to be defrauded and that losses from Nigerian scams totaled $12.7 billion in 2013. These scams account for $82 billion in losses to date. Klason said the main principal to remember is if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. “There’s a lot of variations that are out there,” Klason said. “They’ll try anything. These people don’t have any kind of scruples. Whatever it takes to convince someone to send money. They will say anything they think will work.”
PACKAGE THEFTS Besides the anonymous swindles from a distance, there are a number of inperson thefts that pick up near Christmas time. The number of UPS and Fed Ex packages stolen from front porches typically spikes this time of year in Black Diamond thanks to the proliferation of online holiday
shopping, according to Lynch. In an attempt to stifle those thefts, Lynch said day time officers will spend extra time patrolling neighborhoods. Still, he said police need the public’s help. “We all know who lives here and who does not fit,” he said. When asked about the potential for profiling and safeguarding against it, Lynch said the 911 dispatch screeners do a “great job” of asking callers why the individual seems out of place. “We tell people it’s better to err on the side of caution,” Lynch said. “Even if it’s nothing at least we know it’s nothing.” Maple Valley Police Detective Jason Stanley said that even though the city’s median income sits in the upper-middle class, the city also sees its fair share of holiday packages stolen from front porches, as well as shoplifting. “It seems like criminals get kind of desperate, maybe to fill their own holiday obligations,” Stanley said.
SHOPLIFTING According to the Maple Valley Business Watch newsletter, shoplifting costs US businesses approximately $16 billion every year, with about one out of every three new
December 19, 2014 [7]
businesses failing because of the effects of shoplifting. Experts estimate that the average family will spend $300 dollars every year to subsidize the cost of what shoplifters steal. Although Maple Valley has seen an increase in adult shoplifting, according to the newsletter, teens are often the perpetrators of shoplifting. When a store owner or law enforcement has reasonable cause to suspect that a person has shoplifted, they usually have the legal right to detain them. When a teen commits theft their parents will be contacted, they will have to return the items and they probably will not be allowed to enter that store for at least a year. Klason said there are instances where the shoplifters and thieves are found to be desperate parents with limited resources and want to do something for their kids. He said police try to steer those individuals to social services and food banks. But, by and large, Klason said, these thefts are for selfish gain. “A majority (of thefts) are for themselves or to turn it around — pawn electronics for cash,” Klason said.

Margaret “Marge” Hardaway Margaret “Marge” Hardaway died Dec. 14 at Valley Medical Center. Marge was 80 years and lived in Maple Valley with her husband of 60 years, Chuck. She was born June 26, 1934 in Detroit, Mich. The couple moved to Maple Valley in 1977 after Chuck retired from the Air Force. Marge and Chuck were married in 1954. Marge graduated from Mackenzie High School and attended Wayne State University, both in Detroit, Mich. Marge is survived by Chuck; her son, John, who is a physician and captain in the U. S. Navy; his wife, Christina and two grandchildren. There will be a memorial service at 2:15 p.m. Jan. 15 at Tahoma National Cemetery, 18600 SE 240th Kent.

He said a lottery winner can jump to a different viable address, so long as it is within the same jurisdiction. “They couldn’t move into Seattle but they could move out to Covington,” Smith said.

If a winner doesn’t meet the requirements, the businesses’ application is withdrawn and the liquor control board moves to next on the lottery list. Any business that receives a state license must also meet Covington’s current interim zoning requirements, which incorporate all state requirements, plus an additional 1,000 foot buffer from churches and trail systems. The 1,000 foot buffer separation also applies to schools, parks, libraries, park and rides
and child care facilities. The building is located 2,000 feet from the Covington library parking lot, according to Google Maps. The recreational marijuana business would have no impact on Covington Holistic Medicine, a medical marijuana business that opened in 2011.

Willamette musicians to perform at Kentwood The Willamette Singers will perform Jan. 15, at 9:30 a.m. at Kentwood High School. Choirs from the Kentwood High School and Auburn Riverside High School will also perform in the concert. The concert will open with a vocal jazz performance by the Willamette Singers, followed by the high school groups and the Willamette Chamber Choir. The concert is open to the public. The performance will include a variety of sacred and secular works, both a cappella and accompanied. The Chamber Choir’s performance will include “Past Life Melodies,” by Sarah Hopkins; “O Magnum Mysterium,” by Kevin Memley; and “How Lovely is Thy Dwelling Place,” from the Brahms’ Requiem. The Willamette Singers will perform selections including “Air Mail Special,” by Benny Goodman; “Stella by Starlight,” by Victor Young; and “Sent for You Yesterday” by William “Count” Basie. the end of November. The next step would be actual tenant improvement to the space itself so that the store passes all state requirements. If state inspectors sign off and issue a preliminary license, Crimson Wave can apply for a business license with the city, which will conduct its own final review. “I have no idea how long all of this is going to take,” Hart said. “It could be two months, three months. It is entirely up to them.” Hart said the permit review was completed weeks prior to when Crimson Wave actually came to pick it up. Cory Wiegers is listed as
Crimson Wave’s applicant through the Liquor Control Board. Multiple emails and phone messages by The Reporter to his listed information went unreturned. Ben Bentitou is listed as the applicant on the permit application through the city of Covington. Bentitou declined to comment when reached by email, writing, “I have a family and day job that I simply don’t need impacted.” Campbell said in November the tenant has a contractor lined up to do work on the building. Despite his reservations, Campbell said he would rather see marijuana sale be done legally, under some control and taxation where the money can go to some good causes. “I may regret even being involved, but in a few years we will find out,” Campbell said. “On the other side of the coin, if I didn’t someone else would.”

After four seasons without a playoff berth, one might assume a 4-1 start would please Kentlake basketball coach Scott Simmons. But that’s not the case. “We haven’t played up to what we are capable of,” said Simmons, in his 10th season at the school. “We haven’t even come close.” Simmons and the Falcons are dreaming big these days thanks to a strong ensemble of youth that includes talented freshman Aniston Denckla, who Simmons said might already be the squad’s best player. “She does everything pretty darn well,” Simmons said. “She’s going to be a massive building block for us.” The Falcons beat Kentridge on Dec. 9 and sees an opportunity to jump to the top of the Northeast conference. Simmons said that overcoming Kentridge’s strength, talent and experience, as well as Tahoma’s talent, depth and organization, will be key. “We need to understand that defense wins championships and it’s the little things that make the big things,” Simmons wrote in an email to The Reporter. “How well we develop and grow defensively will define how deep we go into the playoffs (should we make it).” Simmons led his group to five straight playoff appearances before the recent four-year draught.

Freshman Aniston Denckla, left, battles with her teammate, senior Emma Jackson, for position during Kentlake’s practice Dec. 12. ERIC MANDEL, The Reporter called his team “deep,” despite there being only 20 students total making up the varsity and junior varsity squads — with 12 of those 20 being underclassmen. Simmons called this one of the top two most talented groups he’s coached. Meanwhile, Kentwood, coming off a 20-8 season in 2014, is also starting fresh with just one returning starter. The Conks have started the season 0-5, as of Monday, and head coach Lisa Ashley said in an email that the biggest obstacle for her group is “being young and believing that we can play with the more experienced teams.”

Arboretum seeks docent volunteers As the Lake Wilderness Arboretum enters its 50th year in 2015, it is becoming a desirable destination for a diverse group of visitors from the Puget Sound region and beyond. Consider volunteering as a docent and lead free guided walks through the 42 acres of display gardens and collections. From April to October, guided walks that are free to the public take place on the third Saturday of each month. Perfect for a family visit. Docents who are trained by master gardener volunteers and arboretum staff can give participants the details and history of every garden, collection, forest reserve and feature of the arboretum. The Lake Wilderness Arboretum Foundation is always looking for new volunteers who would like to help with the docent program. In addition to the public walks, docents can cater a tour to special interests or specific dates or accommodate personalized requests as well as help arrange parking for bus tours. The time commitment for each volunteer is about four to eight hours per month from January through October. If interested, email info@ lakewildernessarboretum.org or tours@lakewildernessarboretum.org. or call 253- 293-5103. Visit LakeWildernessArboretum. org to volunteer, donate or become a member.

Washington State Department of Health Conducts Sanitary Survey at the District The Department of Health (DOH) conducts sanitary surveys of each state public water system on a revolving basis at least once every three years. A sanitary survey is a periodic inspection of water system facilities, operations and records, which is used to identify conditions that may present a sanitary public health risk. Comprehensive sanitary surveys are important practices, which help water systems protect public health by supplying water to their customers that meet or exceed water quality regulations. They are conducted to evaluate: • The capability of a drinking water system to consistently and reliably deliver an adequate quality and quantity of safe drinking water to the consumer. • The system’s compliance with federal and state drinking water regulations. • Deficiencies that may create risks of future water contamination. There are eight (8) minimum components of all routine sanitary survey inspections, which include: 1. Planning and management documentation. 2. Distribution system review including the status of the Cross-Connection Control Program. 3. Source (wells) and sanitary control area. 4. Source pumps and pumping facilities. 5. Source treatment procedures and equipment. 6. Pressure tanks. 7. Finished water storage facilities. 8. Operator certification status. A DOH sanitary survey was conducted at the District on October 28, 2014 and we are proud to announce that no significant deficiencies or issues were observed. However, the District will not receive a full report on the October 28 sanitary survey visit from DOH until sometime in late December. The District will provide a full report of DOH findings and comments in the next edition of the “What’s on Tap” newsletter. It is the District’s goal to provide our customers with consistent, reliable and safe drinking water and to do so in a fiscally responsible manner. It is apparent that in the eyes of our regulating agency, DOH, that we are doing a good job of that.
Winter Storm Preparedness A little preparation now can save a lot of discomfort or expensive repairs later. Here are some things to consider: • BUILD A KIT. A catastrophe can impact your ability to access food, water and electricity. A 7-10 day emergency supply kit is a basic tool for providing peace of mind, comfort, and survival needs in the face of a catastrophe. • PLAN FOR POWER OUTAGES. Have a way of lighting and heating your home that does not rely on electricity. Do not burn charcoal or use a generator indoors. • Winterize your vehicle with anti-freeze. • Winterize your house. • Drain/blow out irrigation system, insulate exposed pipes and faucets to prevent freezing. • Know where your Master Meter Shutoff Valve is located. There are many resources available to assist you and your family in preparing for emergencies. The following websites: King County Office of Emergency Management at www. kingcounty.gov/safety/prepare or Take Winter by Storm at www.TakeWinterByStorm.org offer detailed information. 1188137

Water Rates On November 5, 2014, the Board of Water Commissioners approved a 3% revenue increase which is effective beginning with the January 2, 2014 billing cycle. The revenue requirement is necessary to meet maintenance, operations, capital, and debt service needs for the upcoming year. The revenue requirement is achieved through an increase to the flat rate meter charge for both residential and commercial customers and an increase to commercial consumption rates. For a single-family residence with a 5/8” single or dual meter, the increase for the 2-month bill is estimated to be $3.00. The 2015 rate schedule may be accessed on the District’s website at covingtonwater.com.
Unidirectional Flushing What is Unidirectional Flushing? Covington Water District has been active for several years in a common utility maintenance procedure called unidirectional flushing. The procedure involves opening specifically selected fire hydrants and closing specifically selected valves under controlled conditions to scour and clean the inner surface of the water distribution pipes. The scouring process is achieved by using high velocity flow rates which help remove corrosion scale and sediment that has accumulated naturally over time. If otherwise left in place, these deposits could degrade the quality of water and restrict pipeline carrying capacities. Why is the water discolored? The discolored or “brown water” being flushed out of the fire hydrants is due to the solids that are being removed from the interior surface of the pipes. These solids may include sand, sediment, iron, and manganese, all of which are naturally-occurring and common to virtually every water system in our region. These solids are not harmful at the levels that cause the discoloration, however they may impart an undesirable taste to the water. How will I know when the flushing is happening in my neighborhood? Notification boards will be placed at the major street intersections 2-3 days prior to the actual flushing. The notification or “sandwich boards” will show the dates and times the flushing will occur. In most cases, the impact to your home or business will last 1-2 days as District crews move through your area. The District’s goal is to flush the entire distribution system (285 miles of pipe) every five years. What do I do if I have discolored water in my home? Customers are advised to fully open their cold water faucets in the kitchen and bathroom to flush the discolored water out of their plumbing system. In most cases, the water should begin to clear within 2-3 minutes. If it does not clear, please contact the District’s Customer Service Division at 253-631-0565 for assistance. Who do I call with questions about the flushing program? Please contact Mike Amburgey, Operations Manager, at 253-867-0950 if you would like to learn more about this water distribution maintenance program.

Tahoma High School auto technology students perform an oil change as part of a program to help families in need and to gain work experi-
Auto club volunteers do oil changes to help others For struggling families, getting an oil change can quickly get pushed down the list of priorities behind housing, food and other immediate needs. That’s why Tahoma High School auto technology students and Maple Valley Rotary are teaming up to help families at Vine Maple Place by providing them with free oil changes during non-school hours. “Reliable and safe transportation is a family’s life line to accomplish everyday life,â€? said Michelle Frets, director of Family Services for Vine Maple Place. “This is a real gift to the family. Because of the crisis a family is experiencing, they often have to choose EHWZHHQ VWD\LQJ KRXVHG DQG Âż[ing or maintaining their car,â€? Frets said. “Something as simple as an oil change will make a big difference for a homeless or near homeless family in our community.â€? Maple Valley Rotary helped get the program going, donating $1,000 to the high school auto club for supplies, president Bill VanRuff said. “It’s so important because these people need their vehicles,â€? VanRuff
said. “Some people live in them and some need them to get to their jobs; or, to go out and get a job.â€? Rotary funds several other programs for Vine Maple Place and community members in need, he noted, including pledging $5,000 per year toward car repairs at Wilderness Chevron and Automotive; and Valley Automotive. An estimated 3,000 low- and severely low-income families live in the greater Maple Valley area – including Ravensdale, Black Diamond and portions of Covington, Auburn and Kent – and are at risk of becoming homeless, according to Vine Maple Place RIÂżFLDOV While getting her oil changed recently, one client said she relies on her car but that she is not very familiar with maintaining it; so, having the students do that for her is a great service. “I love it – to have the car piece taken away is one of the biggest blessings ever – then I can focus on other things. It’s such a relief.â€? Another resident said the program is very helpful to her, and that she likes VHHLQJ WKH HGXFDWLRQDO EHQHÂżW IRU WKH students. “It gives the kids the opportunity to learn what they need.â€?

Work underway to review, update instruction programs Community members are understandably excited about what the new Tahoma High School and Regional Learning Center will look like. But in addition to the design work, another vital process is underway. A Model Review committee of about 45 staff members, parents, students, school board members and business owners is helping determine how the school day will run and what instructional components will best help the district achieve its Future Ready vision. “The work that this group is doing is as important as the construction of the build-

Some of the committee members are focusing on the high school, while others will ZRUN RQ WKH PLGGOH VFKRRO FRQÂżJXUDWLRQ The two groups will present their recommendations to the school board on Feb. 12 and April 14, respectively. “This group’s charge is: What does it take for our high school students to be Future Ready?,â€? said Dawn Wakeley, executive director of Teaching and Learning for the district. Future Ready is the district’s initiative to
provide a wide variety of experiences and learning from kindergarten through 12th grade that result in each student creating a viable post-graduation plan, whether that PHDQV D WZR RU IRXU \HDU SURJUDP D FHUWLÂżcation, the military or going straight into the workforce. The committee will determine not only how the school day will look and function in the new building, but also will help set the course for what the school system will look like in 20 years, Wakeley said. The new building is scheduled to open in the fall of 2017.
